Investigating stimulation

How do I understand stimulation? To stimulate is to arouse interest, enthusiasm, excitement. Interest and enthusiasm. These can come from external things, as a form of learning, understanding, growing, evolving. This can also be for enjoyment, to arouse enjoyment, that can be something practical, building, using. For building/using, what is the starting point? It can vary, it can be for practical purposes as creation and within that the enjoyment of physically moving and creating which is stimulation in itself. The stimulation comes from building/using, being creative, it goes hand in hand with the physical movement. Sort of like the bridge between building/using and the physical response upon building/doing. That is how I see stimulation.

With this form of stimulation, there’s no energy involved. It’s to do something creative for example, and enjoy the benefits, that being the stimulation of creation, of moving, of building, and of enjoyment, of doing - no energy involved. Physical stimulation.

I commit myself to utilise stimulation as my physical response to something that I am doing in which I enjoy doing because it is creative, it is a physical movement, it is beneficial, it is a source of learning/growing/evolving.
